Cuban mercenaries are one of the biggest dangers for Ukraine and for Europe, because they, unlike poor African or Indian workers drafted, actually have combat training due to conscription laws of 2 years of military service
i dont understand why Western countries don’t take in as many Cuban migrants as possible to drain the country of its demographic reserve
for the simple reason that the less meat Cuba ,Belarus, NK have ,the fewer soldiers Europe needs for its defense, since those countries are the biggest suppliers of mercenaries to Russia now and in a prolonged war
**you don’t want military service in your country? ensure the other side has fewer available bodies**
**otherwise i don’t want to hear anyone complain of mandatory military service in Europe in the coming years . There was a way to deprive Russia of mercenaries and you were against it**
Cuba is a small country ,its population fell by over 1.5 million people past decade due to emigration and low birth rates, and its births have crashed 40% past decade

they are also very highly skilled, as much as I hate the Cuban regime, its doctors and nurses are famous in the world
**for the love of my life, i can’t understand why any European country doesn’t have a policy that any Cuban doctor or nurse who enters the country gets automatically a residence permit**
since its population is falling every year , eventually they will run low even of emigrants, and there won’t be a need for asylum anymore
and if you are worried about rising housing crisis, then countries could lower the number of legal visas for other countries to compensate for increased influx of Cubans
I don’t really see how this is any worse than the North Korean troops who are already on European soil. An insane fact to even sit here and write. Kill them all.
There’s only one thing tyrants respect.
Wow, news be like: NK is ro send their troops to Ukraine, Cuba is sending troops ro Ukraine, African mercenaries are in ruzzia. Meanwhile: Merz is dancing salsa in the name of peace in Ukraine. 4 years weren’t enough for EU to understand and prepare for their future. That’s sad. In world history, this exact period would be called: ignorant cowards that ended existence of EU
This is so sad, Cuba and North Korea each have done more to reinforce Russia than NATO all together to Ukraine. Some people may deride the quality of the contributions from these 2 nations but bad reinforcements is still better than no reinforcements.
What is the point of this article? Countries that are allies exchange military personnel? USA has sent soldiers in the frontlines of Ukraine (undercover ofc).
The reporter seems to be a paid actor that writes mostly anti-cuban articles in an effort to complete smear the country. This is a nothingburger piece meant to step on sensitivities europeans have on this egregious war that Russia started to spur what, anti-cuban sentiments? Why the fuck is this an issue right now? Will Cuba invade EU? Is the Cuban or the NK army such a core pillar of the Russian army? Will NK invade EU? No, this is all bs. RUSSIA invaded, RUSSIA has taken small countries in its side (cause they weren’t willing to co-operate with US, or were communist), and we’re painting these small countries as “completely evil” that want to fuck up EU?
Anti-cuban reporter is trying to paint Cuba as an “evil country” by using the russioukraine war as a front?
We aren’t this stupid. Only americans buy this type of shit.
The amount of astroturf campaigns started by USA to do all kinds of propaganda while they ignore and make this war worse on their own terms is astounding, and EU is getting weaker the more we focus on what the fuck american media has to say (where it’s clear that their only goal is to gain free minerals from ukraine) than how to stop this nonsense war and stop further russian aggression from happening in EU soil.
What are our priorities? Falling for american stupid ass propaganda or protecting our countries from russian imperialism?
It is very sad that we’ve fallen into such a honeytrap where we are more preoccupied with american propaganda and what the americans want (and how they want this war to end, on their own terms), than actually DOING something about this while millions of innocent ukranians die, and Russia becomes more prepared for the next invasion. It shows that we really lack any sense of preservation, we’re all living in Amerika as Rammstein said….
Unfortunately, Cubans are desperate to leave. If people read the article, many of the young Cubans were promised jobs (like in construction) and Russian passports. It is sad when even a Russian passport is a step up. But Cuba has lots 10-20% of its population in recent years. Most have gone to the USA, but others go where they can (Spain, Mexico, Uruguay, and apparently even Russia).
But remember guys, if our governments consider it they say it’s an escalation.
What would be the legality/politics of Ukraine responding to this as an act of war? Reprisal or whatnot?
If Cuban forces are invading Ukraine… are Cuba and Ukraine at war?
Ukraine should hire them for higher price
